What to expect
Cairns rainforest river (Behana Gorge, Mulgrave River, or Little Mulgrave River)
Your river tubing takes place on a pristine rainforest river that meanders beneath towering trees, past mossy rocks and climbing vines. The guide team selects Behana Gorge, the Mulgrave River, or the Little Mulgrave River on the day so that conditions suit tubing for everyone.
Features
-
Enjoy rainforest river tubing at the selected location for around 1.5–2 hours of tubing, floating along gentle currents and occasional faster sections chosen to match the day’s river levels. The route passes through dense tropical vegetation that frames the river as it twists through the landscape.
-
Look out for opportunities to spot native wildlife as you travel downstream, including birds, butterflies, freshwater turtles, fish, and lizards that often appear along the banks or in the water. Your guides point out sightings so you can notice more of what is around you.
-
All training and equipment is included before you enter the water, so you receive clear instructions on how to use your high-quality, twin-chamber tubes and how the river run will work. This briefing gives you time to ask questions before the actual river tubing begins.
